| The New York State Departments of Education and Health jointly established the School Supportive Health Services Program (SSHSP) to help districts obtain Medicaid reimbursements for the diagnostic and health support services that they provide to eligible students who have an Individual Education Program (IEP). Reimbursable services include physical and occupational therapy, speech pathology, psychological counseling, skilled nursing services, basic and comprehensive psychological evaluations, medical evaluations, medical specialist evaluations, audiological evaluations, and transportation. Qualified professionals (providers), either under contract with or employed by the district, must provide the services. Because districts struggle to fund educational programs with limited resources, Medicaid reimbursements for services provided to eligible special education students are important potential revenue sources. The Central New York Regional Information Center provides central Medicaid claims processing services to the State of New York. cnyricMED Client Claiming Comprehensive, web accessible system offered at no cost to New York State school districts and service providers, as well as 4201 schools and counties within New York State to submit claims for Medicaid eligible services to the New York State Office of the Medicaid Inspector General (OMIG), and New York State Education Department (SED). ♦ Creates reimbursement claims and enables electronic submission of data ♦ Comprehensive claim tracking and reporting system ♦ Medicaid Web Reports allow retrieval of Medicaid reports and files via the web Medicaid Direct® Integrated Medicaid Billing |
